How do I register for
courses offered by the CMPA?

St. Louis CMPA Continuing Education programs are generally open to certified peace officers, and for some programs, reserve/part-time officers and dispatchers. Computer application classes are available to civilian employees, as well. Restrictions, where they exist, will be described in the course flyer.

Registration for Police Basic Training for new officers follows a different procedure. For information on admission requirements and procedures go to our Police Basic Admissions Information page.

Specialized security force training has a separate listing, and once Tier II training is completed, many of the law enforcement classes are available to security personnel, as well. For an Adobe Acrobat (.pdf) document explaining the tier system, click here.

Registration for Continuing Education programs must be done through your department and approved by a supervisor. Tuition paying departments receive priority for registration. Non-tuition paying departments are allocated seats on a seat-available basis. In some cases, individual officers may pay to attend CMPA Continuing Education programs, but must still obtain department authorization.

Flyers and registration forms are sent out to departments in our service area on a periodic basis. Facsimilies of these documents are posted on this web site in PDF format as soon after development as is possible. These may be accessed and, if desired, printed out from our course listing pages.

Completed registration forms may be mailed to the address at the bottom of the form. They may also be faxed to (314) 863-2317. There is also a simple Web registration option. This requires the filling out of a short form accessed by clicking on buttons like this one found on course listing pages throughout the site. You may click now to access the form.
